Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.

An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.

Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.
